"It's uncontrolled proliferative cell growth that is cancerous."

"It's the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in cell size."

"It's the wasting away of tissue or organs."

"It's the abnormal growth or development of cells."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. "It's uncontrolled proliferative cell growth that is cancerous." Describes cancerous growth, not hypertrophy.

B. "It's the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in cell size." Defines cellular hypertrophy accurately. Hypertrophy involves an increase in the size of cells, leading to the enlargement of tissues or organs, often in response to increased workload or stimulation.

C. "It's the wasting away of tissue or organs." Describes atrophy, not hypertrophy.

D. "It's the abnormal growth or development of cells." Broad definition that does not specifically describe hypertrophy.

Correct Answer is ["7.2"]

Explanation

Dopamine infusion calculation:

Client weight: 176 pounds
Dopamine dose ordered: 3 mcg/kg/min
Dopamine concentration: 500 mg in 250 mL
Conversion factor: 1 mg = 1000 mcg
1 kg = 2.2 pounds

Calculations:

Convert client weight to kg: 176 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 80 kg
Calculate mcg/min: 3 mcg/kg/min × 80 kg = 240 mcg/min
Calculate mcg/hr: 240 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 14400 mcg/hr
Calculate mL/hr: Dopamine concentration is 2 mg/250 mL, which equals 2000 mcg/mL.
- mL/hr = 14400 mcg/hr / 2000 mcg/mL = 7.2 mL/hr

Answers:

mcg/min: 240 mcg/min
mcg/hr: 14400 mcg/hr
mL/hr: 7.2 mL/hr
